this country was heavily divided during the george w. bush years. the partisanship still exists today, both sides. ohio is an example of where getting out the vote will be an interesting barometer for both sides. in 2010, republicans swept every state. less than 12 months ago we had a referendum on senate bill 5, highly controversial, where governor kasich ltd. unions' right to collectively bargain. the state went to vote on that. a 51% ohioans voted to repeal it. this state swings and its wings quickly. but partisanship -- this will be a ground game of who can get out the vote. independents, will they show at the polls? they are more disenfranchised this time around. guest: we have seen intensified polarization, not just among people in washington but across the country in recent years. the point that i would add is it is making it increasingly difficult to govern, because redistricting is a part of this and the incentive among people in congress, whether it is a republican president or a democratic president, is to oppose virtually everything that
